SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 298,656, dated May 13,1884.

.'l'o all whom it may con/cern.

Be it known that I, JAMns F. BARR, a citizen of the United States, and aresident of Ashland, in the county of Ashland and State of Ohio, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Paper, Twine, and SackCases for Grocers, Src., of which the following is a specification.

The invention relates to an improved paper, twine, and sack case; andits object is to produce an efficient, simple, and durable rack forholding wrapping-paper, paper bags, twine, &c., for the use of stores,the parts of said rack being capable of being compactly folded forshipment, and being so disposed that the case may be employed withfacility and convenience.

The invention which is the subject of this application is illustrated inthe accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l is a front view of a caseembodying the invention, and Fig. 2 is avertical section of same on theline x In the drawings, A denotes the back of the case, to which aresecured, by means of hinges a, the ends B B, which will be of suitableoutline, and between which are arranged the shelves C, said shelvesbeing secured, prefer-V ably7 by gaining them into the ends B B, so asto be detachable at will. The shelves C are designed to holdwrapping-paper, and, for convenience, and to add to the appearance ofthe case,they will gradually decrease in width from the lower shelfupward. The lower edges of the ends B B may be finished with a moldingor more of the shelves may be subdivided by vertical partitions D, forthe purpose of forming compartments to contain paper of reduced size, asindicated in the drawings.

Between the upper portions of the ends B B are formed the twine-box Eand paper-bag compartment F, the former of which is supplied with ahinged lid or cover, G, and is (No model.)

separated from the paper-bag compartment by 4 5 a vertical partition, H.The twine-boX E extends from one side of the case to the other, beingprovided at each end with a bowl-like receptacle, I, to contain a ballof twine, the lid G above which having an aperture through which the endof` the twine may protrude, so as to be readily attainable by the personwrapping and tying packages. The space in the twine-box between thereceptacles I I may be utilized for holding surplus balls of twine. Thebottom J of the twine-box E and paper-bag compartment F is securedbetween the ends B B in like manner as the shelves O, so as to bedetachable.

Y The purpose of securing the ends B B to the back Aby hinges is topermitthem to be folded upon said back, whereby the case may be easilypacked and caused to occupy the minimum amount of space during shipment.

By the employment of the case the dealer may readily select the kind andsize of paper desired for wrapping his goods, and the twine for tyingthe same will always be at hand.

What I claim as my invention, and'desire to secure by Letters Patent,is#

1. The case for twine, paper, and bags, hereinbefore described,consisting of the back and ends, the shelves C, twine-box E, andcompartment F, the box being supplied with a cover, and having at eachend a receptacle for a single ball of twine, substantially as set forth.
